Youth Disciples
The General Youth Council is made up of students and adults who are committed to youth ministry in their local congregations and regions. The purpose of the GYC is to give them opportunities to grow as future leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Central to our ministry is our aim to produce clear gospel teaching and conversations applicable to their place in life which help the youth see their need for Christ and teach them how to respond to Christ’s calling on their lives. Through the faithful teaching of Scripture, we hope that they understand the message of the Scriptures and thus, the truth of the gospel. We also aim to teach the youth practical disciplines to help them in their walk with the Lord.
Effective youth ministry also involves understanding the difference between different generations.
The aim of our youth ministry is to help assist our families as they raise their youth through their middle and high school years. We seek not to be an alternative to teen parenting but to come alongside and support our families. Therefore, we encourage the youth’s involvement with their families, their communities and the life of the church. We want to provide another place where the youth can grow in owning their faith and working through how to interact with this world through a biblical view.
We desire at some level to minister to the youth and their families so that the youth grow in gospel dependence, become a spiritually healthy member of Christ’s body, and are compelled by the gospel toward missional living. Thus we hope “Youth Group” is also a fun and engaging time where the youth want to invite friends to hear the Gospel message.
